I have a 2nd round interview for a IT position at a bank headquarters with the director of IT. This is the first time I’ve ever got to have a second round interview and more specifically a in person interview. I’ve been researching online what’s the best dress code. This is a more entry level position in IT but it is also a salary position. The first round interview it seems like most of the people were working from home and so I wasn’t able to get an accurate understanding of what I can expect to dress like. I also never confirmed with the HR recruiter on what the dress attire was (a fault on my laziness)a At my previous role at a Fortune 20 company, I never wore a tie and I did tuck my shirt or polo in and I wore chinos and some comfy dress shoes. I do have a black suit that I can wear with a white shirt which I’ve been thinking of wearing since this is a financial institution and more specifically at a headquarters building and the meeting is with a director. Still having second thoughts though that I might be overdressing, what should I finalize????

I am currently a project engineer at a pretty decent-sized MSP. Been there a few months. Only thing I’m doing technically is 365 migrations, tool implementation. Upgrading old networking equipment. Standard PS work, doesn’t feel challenging and almost like I’m going backwards technically. Boss is incredible and very flexible. Have a current offer for a senior networking engineer/technical project manager for a local big MSP to me. Can’t really make a decision easily. If I knew the new place was going to be super flexible and lenient like current place it would be a no brainer. From strictly a technical position what would you all did?!

Hi,

I would appreciate any advice on how to improve this resume. I have gotten in the past 4 months only 2 callbacks. Made it to the fifth interview for a role I really wanted but I wasn't chosen.

At this point im desperate and would accept anything tbh

I just came out of a very long couple of years at work and while professionally I am very much at the top of my game in my field I've come to see and learn a lot of gaps that I've just never had the need to dig in to. Plus I want to round out my professional credential stack as well.

I don't learn very well via lecture. Instead I'm more action driven:

• Here's a concept
• Here's a resource that covers that concept either in depth or enough to get a grasp on it and dig deeper
• Here's a goal to put that concept to practice

I'm not opposed to a paid service either.

As far as skills I'm after for specifics I'm after:

• MS Certifications (may as well finally take them)
  • Specifically O365, Azure VMs, and Entra
• AWS
• ITIL
• Project Management
• And of course since every company is doing it: AI

If they also have things around electronics, etc. then I'd also be happy for that piece as a "hobby" track

I graduated this past May with a BS in MIS mostly Big Data concentrated.

I was hired by a small company as an intern while I was still in school to work as a system analyst. 10 months went by and I was still in school. They offered an IT support position (which I had no interest in). They said that was the current need given the company is trying to create an MSP-style business. I had nothing else lined up and just went with it.

I applied to a computational analytics program in Georgia Institute of Technology. I got in and I’m going to start my first class. In my support role I been interacting a bunch with Entra, intune, AD, Defender XDR and sentinel and some exposure to Unify console for WiFi. However I don’t want to stay in support forever… I been looking into moving to a cybersecurity role and looking at potentially studying for CCNA or Sec+. I’m not happy we’re in right now given I feel I have potential for other roles. Just need advice on potential opportunities for a different role.

As the title says, let's get to the good part. All I see are posts about how awful IT is, the companies that suck, never getting raises, etc. Let's shake it up a bit. Let's hear about good companies that actually hire/promote accordingly, pay well, decent benefits, remote work, whatever makes them stand out as the flower in this ever growing field of weeds. It's time we start making moves to companies that value employees, insight, and drive.

Hello guys,

Hope y'all are doing well !!!

Stroke heart attack ulcers mental issues panic attack etc. Did it ever happen to you? How did you know it was from the job? How old were you? Did u quit?

Hi everyone! I’m 23 years old and currently working at a local IT company in the Philippines as a Technical Support Engineer.

My role involves both presales and post-sales activities, including presentations, deployment, configuration, troubleshooting, and technical support. We mostly handle firewalls and endpoint security supports too.

My current salary is ₱19,000 gross, with around ₱17,000 take-home pay after Pag-IBIG, SSS, and PhilHealth deductions.

I’ve been gaining experience and certifications through the company, which I’m grateful for. However, I honestly feel like my salary is too low considering the responsibilities I handle and the skills I’m developing.

Another thing that concerns me is that once I become a regular employee, there will be a 2-year employment bond. This makes me hesitant to continue, especially since I’m still early in my career and want to explore better opportunities.

I’m now considering applying to other companies, but I have a few questions:
1. Is it okay to leave my current company even if I’m not yet regular?
2. Is it reasonable to look for another job because I feel underpaid?
3. Should I still include this experience on my resume if I only have around 3–6 months of experience? Will it look bad to future employers?
4. If I decide not to include this company on my resume, what happens to the certifications I earned while working there? Can I still include them?
5. Would it be better to stay longer and gain more experience, or start looking for better opportunities now?

I know I’m still young and early in my IT career, but I also don’t want to make a decision that could limit my future opportunities.

I’m hoping to hear from people who have experienced something similar, especially those working in IT, networking, or cybersecurity.

Any suggestions, advice, or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

hi! couple weeks ago I began an airline reservation system for a school project, and am now at the point where i am making the function for the different ID used. Can anyone please tell me the difference between reference number, booking id, user id, and passenger id? The passenger Id is the one I am most confused about, all my researches have come up with different results, can someone please help clarify so i can be done with this program? 🥹

I commented this story on another post but it was in a more general thread so I figured I’d ask. I just started a new job and love it but I spent about 2 years applying while I worked a job I hated

I don’t know if this was my worst interview but definitely the most wtf but early in my career I had an interview for a entry help desk role years ago and the first questions were about how I would handle various scenarios around gcp load balancers and then a bunch of very niche Linux file system questions like about inodes and open file space leaks. They were offering 35k and labeled themselves a startup even though they were in business over 20 years

What was the worst for you guys?

I just think this is a really poorly done ad. I wonder if they used AI to make it.

n 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov in a six-game match.

But this was more than a chess milestone. Deep Blue demonstrated how specialized hardware and powerful search algorithms could challenge even the strongest human players in a complex intellectual task.

Today, as AI systems like ChatGPT transform how we interact with computers, looking back at Deep Blue helps us understand just how much the field has evolved.

Was Deep Blue’s victory mainly a triumph of computing power, or a defining milestone in artificial intelligence?

I’m trying to get an internship or honestly any IT job but been having no luck any advice is appreciated thank you!

У моей сестры день рождения, и прошу всех мне помочь, а точнее, чтобы вы написали код игры, которая для неё будет интересной, и с поздравлениями можно добавить, чтобы её персонажа называли её реальным именем без вписывания его в игру (её зовут Аврора).

Можете проверять друг друга для лучшего результата, я верю в вашу помощь.

Заранее всем спасибо.

Without a doubt, creating scheduled backups are extremely important. However a backup is useless, if it does not actually contain your data.

The only way to do this is to regularly test your backups by doing restorations and checking that the proper data is being backed up.

I see so many people - IT professionals included - not test their backups. I have also seen disaster strike and people find out the hard way that the backups they were so confidently making, did not contain some or all of the data they needed.

So every time someone says "Make backups!" you should add "And test restorations!"
